We report a predominance (64.7%) of polyclonal carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) strains concurrently producing OXA-23 and OXA-58 carbapenemases in a pediatric intensive care unit in an endemic area. This is the first report of emergence of such double-OXA CRAB strains in a single unit worldwide.
